Australia veteran wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has apologised to all concerned for his comments made in a radio interview on Monday morning, where he said New Zealand's players deserved to be sledged because they were 'too nice'.

Australia's Mitchell Starc has surged to the top of the ICC rankings for ODI Bowlers for the first time in his career, following stellar performance in the World Cup that also fetched him the player of the tournament award.

India team director Ravi Shastri has given a dead bat to the idea that batsman Virat Kohli's girlfriend, Anushka Sharma, was to blame for his performance in the World Cup, saying the idea was ludicrous.
